The witness list has been officially announced for the House UAP hearing on November 13. The joint hearing is being held by the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation and the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs. Rep. Nancy Mace and Rep. Glenn Grothman are co-chairing the hearing.
In a joint press statement, they shared:
This is our second hearing on the topic of UAPs and the American people are tired of the obfuscation and refusal to release information by the federal government. Americans deserve to understand what the government has learned about UAP sightings, and the nature of any potential threats these phenomena pose. We can only ensure that understanding by providing consistent, systemic transparency. We look forward to hearing from expert witnesses on ways to shed more light and bring greater accountability to this issue.
The press statement also notes: “This second hearing on the topic of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) will attempt to further pull back the curtain on secret UAP research programs conducted by the U.S. government, and undisclosed findings they have yielded. The hearing will examine the Department of Defense’s (DoD) reluctance to appropriately declassify material on UAPs, and ways to make sure the American public is better informed on this topic.”
The witnesses are:
- Dr. Tim Gallaudet: Retired Rear Admiral
- Luis Elizondo, former Department of Defense official and credited with helping lead AATIP
- Michael Gold, former NASA official and Chief Growth Officer with Redwire Corporation
- Michael Shellenberger, journalist
Admiral Gallaudet has spoken at length about underwater UFOs. We’ve reported on him previously here.
Elizondo just released a book about his experiences.
Michael Shellenberger reported on his Substack that an unnamed source told him the government had a secret retrieval program called Immaculate Constellation.
Perhaps most interesting to me is Mike Gold. He’s a lawyer who was on NASA’s UAP task force a couple years ago. And for 13 years, he worked at Bigelow Aerospace (Bigelow was the previous owner of Skinwalker Ranch.)
We’ll be posting articles about each of the witnesses, so keep an eye on this website for more details.
